Transition

I once encountered a mountain, I didn’t want to climb So, I stood and viewed its beauty, left everything else behind I once encountered pouring rain and didn’t want to get wet I chose to watch and listen to soothing sound without regret I once felt pain in my heart so deep, I couldn’t move so I had to re-start All the things I had abandoned, so that I would not fall apart I once stood in a graveyard, afraid to face the next day Left gifts by a gravestone, while I stood and chose to pray Many times through the years, beaten by loss and sorrow Released by tears that I shed, with dreams I chose to follow I once wondered while standing in a meadow, why I am still here? So, I assumed it is to give more, open up and overcome my fear Through the valleys and peaks of life, I know I did my best To keep on going at all costs and challenge every single test Moving through transition with things that came my way Led me here so I am able, to write about it all today Heidi Sands 11/19/18
